Administrators, appointed by current owners Wynnstay, have secured the sale of 18 out of the 25 Just for Pets stores. Unfortunately, the remaining 7 will close, but Northfield is set to stay.

The stores have been purchased by the Pedigree Wholesale group, a specialist pet company that’s been active in the pet sector for over 45 years.

A spokesperson for Just for Pets said: “Like us, Pedigree shares a passion for offering outstanding pet care products and knowledge, so our pet loving customers can continue to enjoy the same brands, expert advice and pet products.

“With this investment into Just for Pets we can expect to reveal exciting new product ranges in addition to the firm favourites that we know our customers love to visit us to buy.”

Splendid news in time for Christmas. Am generally a weekly customer @ JustForPets in Northfield where staff are so welcoming and knowledgeable & products first-class. Many thanks to all for hanging in there during the waiting period. Hope the vacciclinic might soon be available again.
